Auth

I will throw my 2 cents in, IF Auth of some kind was added. I think it should be the bare minimum. Login and a simple function to see if somebody is logged in as well as the basic CRUD to create said user (1 lib and 1 model) and that is it.
No groups, no Roles, no ACL, no email me, no forgotten, nothing else. Like many other people have said those things are a lot of times specific to a web application. CI is not a CMS it's a framework and therefore should NOT enforce any development decisions on the developer to program their web application one way or another. hopefully, we can all agree that login and logout as well as "is logged in" IS used by all programs (that need that ability). Then the developer can extend the auth library (MY_auth.php) and add a few of their own methods and models for ACL, Groups, e-mailing, etc...
